IMG Strategic M&A intent Acquisition Alignment to IMG Strategy
Reinforce IMG higher-value
positioning
✓ Builds NZ’s strongest fire & security platform, expanding client,
product and geographic reach across enterprise and government.
Add differentiated technology &
capability

certification, service, installation) and advanced, government-

and security customer bases.
Financially disciplined and
integration-ready

and estimated to be +20.9% accretive.
FINANCIAL RATIONALE
+20.9% accretive transaction (post equity raise)
7
Material (+20.9%) earnings accretion (incl the following Dec 25 equity raise)
• On December 25, IMG announced the acquisition of "BlueSky Holdco (Wormald & Red Wolf)" for NZ$45m
(A$38m) and expected it to deliver proforma EBITDA of NZ$10.9m (or A$10m) during FY26 (Sept year-end).
• Market conditions created a rare window to buy one of New Zealand's most established and recognised
brands in this sector (Wormald NZ) and one of the leading High Security Companies (Red Wolf).
• Following the acquisition announcement, IMG subsequently raised A$20m of equity (at $0.58cps).
• Combined with existing guidance (of $43-47m EBITDA for FY26) this acquisition will lead to a proforma
annualised EBITDA of $53-57m.
• The acquisition was funded from existing NAB debt facilities, which combined with the Dec equity raise puts
IMG on a pro forma net debt to EBITDA of ~1.6x within the Board’s targeted leverage range (of 1-3x).
• Based on expected depreciation, interest costs and tax, IMB forecasts a proforma EPS of at least 0.0625ps up
+20.9%.
